In the second annual ASQ Manufacturing Outlook Survey, 68% of respondents predicted their organizations will grow revenue in 2011. This percentage of respondents is slightly higher than the 64.7% who predicted revenue growth in 2010, a number that proved to be pretty accurate: 67% of this year's respondents indicated that organizations did, in fact, experience revenue growth last year. Respondents were also asked if they thought staff reductions or cutbacks implemented in 2010 negatively affected the quality of their organizations' work: 33% said they believed the quality of products and services was negatively impacted, and 32% said they didn't.
